Monete Marco Aurelio

Monete Marco Aurelio Bracelet

My name is Massimo Decimo Meridio, commander of the Northern Army, general of the Felix legions, loyal servant of the only true Emperor Marco Aurelio. Father of a murdered son, husband of a killed wife… And I will have my revenge, in this life or another.
(Quote from the film “Gladiator”)

Wearing a Silvia Kelly piece means carrying a piece of history, reinterpreted with the sensitivity of fine Italian craftsmanship. This exclusive bracelet is a precious dialogue between different eras, where the brilliance of 18kt rose gold meets the magnetic allure of ancient numismatics.

The charm of antiquity in burnished silver
The beating heart of this creation is represented by faithful reproductions of two iconic coins, crafted in burnished 925 silver. The choice of burnished finish is not accidental: it serves to enhance the details of the reliefs, giving the coins that lived-in and authoritative look typical of original artifacts.

• The Denarius of Marco Aurelio: The smaller coin celebrates the philosopher-emperor. The profile of Marco Aurelio imprinted in silver evokes wisdom and resilience, making this bracelet a symbol of inner strength.
• The Antoninianus of Philip I: The larger coin depicts Philip the Arab, a reminder of the vastness and complexity of the Roman Empire.

The chromatic contrast between the warmth of rose gold and the intense tones of burnished silver creates a contemporary aesthetic, while remaining deeply rooted in the tradition of the Monete collection.

Each bracelet is crafted in our goldsmith’s workshop in Lecco, just steps from the picturesque shores of Lake Como. Since 1970, Silvia Kelly has preserved and passed down the secrets of the goldsmith’s art, blending innovative design with the precision of handcraftsmanship. Choosing this bracelet isn’t just buying a piece of jewelry; it’s supporting a family history of passion, dedication, and attention to detail that has lasted over fifty years.

This accessory is designed for the woman seeking a unique piece capable of telling a story. The Marco Aurelio Monete is not just a numismatic reference, but the cornerstone of a design that celebrates harmony and eternity. The rose gold structure delicately envelops the wrist, transforming every movement into a reflection of light and culture.

Treat yourself to a piece of artisan history: a perfect blend of the rigor of ancient Rome and the sweetness of contemporary “Made in Lake Como” design.
